Tip of the day(always consult your physician and/or do research):
Have you heard of Traction Alopecia? Well, that is hair loss as a result of too tight hair styles. Ex: cornrows or braids, ponytails/puffs, extensions, etc that are so tight, your scalp starts to hurt.
If your childhood, was like plenty of other kids in the 80's/90's and before and after, we played hard. People thought these styles made tighter would keep our hair in place, but in areas it just changed your eye shape due to the pulling of skin!
It actually weakens your hair.
Solution: wear your hair looser. Don't always wear a pony/puff or any style with too much tension. If left untreated, over time the damage can become permanent. It can also cause scarring and inflammation. -references Linda Amerson Ph.D. Trichologist. Article "Hair," Essence Magazine.
